A woman charged in a double fatal OWI crash entered a guilty plea in the case Monday.

Deanna Gliem, 53, was charged with two counts of vehicular homicide by operating while intoxicated and two counts of vehicular homicide by reckless driving in Polk County.

Gliem will face a maximum of 35 years in prison. Her sentencing hearing will take place in early September.

The charges stem from the double fatal crash on Nov. 15 that killed Randy Sonnenburg, 59, and Rick Hummell, 60.

"I honestly don't think it's enough time,” Tamara Cox, niece of Randy Sonnenburg, said. “She's facing 35 years, possibly only 25 years, for killing two men that were innocent."

"I'm just lost for words,” Randy’s brother, Darwin Sonnenburg, said. “I said, ‘I'm not satisfied with what the results are now and hopefully they'll get better.’"

All eyes were on the Gliem as she chocked up and wiped away tears at her plea agreement.

"I think…I think it is best for me, because based off of what happened, it's just agreement," Gliem said

Gliem originally faced four charges, but Monday they were reduced to one count of vehicular homicide operating while intoxicated and one count vehicular homicide by reckless driving.

“The bottom line is this -- she's pleading guilty to counts one and four,” Matt Sheeley, Gliem’s attorney, said. “First, she's accepting responsibility for her involvement in this situation and secondly, there is a benefit, whether it's just is ultimately for the court to decide at the time of sentencing."

"It's actually a good birthday present for us today to see this,” Tina Marie Mass, niece of Randy Sonnenburg, said. “This is a little bit of closure for us. It's not going to bring him back, but it gives us a little closure."

Lucas County Sheriff's Office officials told KCCI that Gliem had an open container when a sheriff's deputy pulled her over. A driver in Chariton called dispatch to report an erratic driver just before authorities pulled her over.

A search of her Ford Expedition revealed a Gatorade bottle filled with a beverage that smelled like alcohol, a shot of rum in her purse, and an open frozen Daiquiri mix in a cooler in the trunk.

A field sobriety test showed Gliem had a Blood Alcohol Concentration of .112.
